I use a link in my tasks in Org mode that will open a DEVONthink object. Which could be an image, pdf, email, or DEVONthink group related to my task. In my case DEVONthink runs on my Mac and ios devices, so that link works from Emacs org mode on the Mac as well as from BeOrg on ios.
DEVONthink is not free though. I used to use Omnifocus and it supported media in the tasks, but that quickly presented a new problem with syncing such large volumes of data. I also found that I needed that media as reference after the task was done, so I would have to store it else where too. That is when I took the advice and separated the tasks from the reference material from a storage perspective and integrated them with links instead. When I migrated to Emacs and Org mode, I used the same strategy of links.
Below is an example of such a link where I reference the email I sent to Shannon that is associated with the task.
**** DONE Shared a copy of the Directory Inventory spreadsheet with Shannon.

You might be able to do something similar with other software you have running your devices that allows a single link to work on all the devices.
